Stones of the Revenant

The game is good, but the difficulty needs to be toned down and more continues need to be added. You can barely get past the first level; and by barely, I do mean barely. Enemies like the skeletons and snakes, can get their attacks in before you can with your weapon, thus causing you to lose health faster than you can kill them. Also, you are only given one continue in the game and if you die after having used your one and only continue, it is back to the first level again making all the work and effort you did, be for nothing. At least with side-scrolling games like Streets of Rage and Golden Axe to name a couple of examples, you were given at least three lives and three continues and weren't at the complete mercy with Sega like you are with ChickenCat Games with this game. Again, this game is good, but it is more brutal than good, which makes it stupidly hard. Hopefully more continues and health will be added as well as the difficulty get toned down somewhat. Also, if you play as the knight, you can't use the shield he has either which makes no sense for him to even have one since you can't protect yourself from projectiles like arrows for example.

The game requires a controller, which is fine, but no way to remap the keys. I understand that devs don't want to do any extra work on these multi-platform releases, but I'm not really interested in doing the work for them to work-around. Always an instant refund. A minor gripe was not being able to skip the boss dialogue. You may enjoy this game but absolutely wasn't worth my time.

Game does not support Keyboard/Mouse game play. Controller only for now. Keep that in mind when you're shopping for your next retro-platformer. For those of us with a controller, even a simple one, the game is fast, engaging, and the pixel art graphics are tight!
